Author's Opinion
In my opinion the story is bit slow… my husband wanted to sleep while watching the movie…Accept my daughter syasya, she keep asking question. Through my reading (informative information )The film was shot using Dolby TrueHD, and about 40% of the film was shot in Green Screen. The visual effects team lead by the director, Yusry, used CGI technology to fully realize the fictional city of Bandar Metrofulus (which was based on Kuala Lumpur), the protagonist's super-hero movements and various digital sets. Over 90% of the rot scoping and compositing work were carried out by KRU Films (now known as KRU Studios), who were also behind the musical scores and audio effects.

KRU want to show audience the 'effect and CGI' in this film. The film is Less comedy and more dialogue… and I think this make boring; it is better the ‘dialogue ‘can be replacing by flashback scene to make the movie more attractive to audience (refreshing audience mind). The plot to simple… and I still can consider less action. Anyhow congratulation to KRU Team. Hope the movie can be improving in future.
